  old people who have been subscribers forever leave it on while they cook dinner, not really caring about the quality of programming, which is basically just filler anymore

    LOL, I’m kinda old (52) and haven’t had cable for 15+ years. If I wanted noise like that, I’d just hook up a cheap HD antenna and get a dozen free stations.

    And it’s so stupid easy to stream from your phone/tablet/laptop/whatever to any remotely modern TV, I just can’t get my head around people paying for cable. I guess the sports people still need it?

  -Older, more conservative people.
  -People who watch sports who are not aware of other options.
  -And people who have bundled services and either have to take the bundle.to get decent Internet speeds or who have persuasively priced bundles.
